A Polka Dot Serving Tray

Living in Orlando I do a lot of outside entertaining. I am always loading food onto my ugly brown tray to bring out to the patio.

So, time for a transformation

First I spray painted the outside of the tray and picked my colors.

I painted circles and then covered a few with contact paper cut into circles. The contact paper provides a nice tight seal.

I painted a different color around the outside of the white contact paper circles

This is what it looked like when I took the contact paper circles off

Now it was time to cover all of the circles with contact paper circles

Then spray paint the whole tray with heirloom white paint

I coated it 3 times with Wipe on poly acrylic by Minwax. I love this stuff, you just pour some onto a rag and wipe it on, it is wonderful, I use it on furniture also. There is no streaking or brushes to clean up and it gives a wonderful finish.

All Finished

The perfect tray needs the perfect napkins

Well, since you are the Polka Dot Closet, then polka dots on a tray seems like a great idea! I love it and love the way you created the dots.It's very festive and party pretty!You amaze me with your creative ideas and great sense of humor. Love the black and white clipping.
